Iowa & HB/HR news - 2025-26

If you think money is the secret ingredient to Iowa’s pursuit of Penn State, it certainly makes sense that money will also be your excuse for the main reason why Penn State is successful.
It would be really nice if Chad Richison (who's the richest among the wrestling boosters) had that mentality and said I'll just write Coleman Scott checks every year for wrestlers.

Instead he thought we should make a systemic change and why not bring in the top guy who's saw the proven system up close and let him recreate it.

According to GIA though, he's doing the exact same thing as Ira and outbidding Iowa.

I think some people just have a mentally warped view on things. His version of events is just not possible. I believe he believes it though.

Holy shipwreck, Iowa!

Here’s my Top 50 …
 
Oof. Major meltdown on GIA due to Bo decommitting. I fear for Earth's survivor as a planet.
At the end of the next 4 years when they have zero national champions from Ayala, Gabe, Ferrari and Bassett maybe reality will sink in, but I hope not.

Whether it contributed or not, I find great humor in all the folks saying “show me Bob’s posts; I’ll believe he posted something when you prove it”. Some people just can’t look up anything for themselves.

I LOVE it in theory because Caliendo is one of my favorite hawks in recent memory, but it's certainly a big risk.

There's enough background to be optimistic about his ability to handle the cut. He's certified at 157 before. He's always had an elite 157 paired with him, so in theory, that would explain why he's always been at 165. But still, it makes me very nervous.
Last year, it was Skeletor PK making the cut to go 157, this year, it's waif Caliendo? I doubt it, but we'll see, I guess. It's hard to believe that people still haven't grasped that one of the core concepts of Cael's success is that cutting too much weight is clearly counterproductive.
 
Clorby on the Iowa board telling a PSU fan to go back to the PSU board is priceless: https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/jordan-williams-arrest.474969/post-13237435

WildTuck getting called out by an Iowa fan for being the thin-skinned insecure bitch that he is is even better:
WildTuck said:
"You got put in timeout for 2 weeks after repeated warnings for breaking the board rules. Thats all that happend Doc. End of story."
Acuhawk said:
"You realize I can go to the new board and tell the whole story correct?
You said some unflattering things to MSU , who broke no rules. I responded to you with unflattering things while also not breaking any board rules. You threatened me with a 2 week ban. And added that it would be a permanent ban, and added i would meed to get a new user name if I didn't shut up.
I responded with what I thought of you. Now we can leave it at that or I can go into detail everything you did after. I can move on with the new board or we can just keep this going. If you delete this I will just post it all and more details over there."

Fun times!
 


Give Pat credit. First, I saw his tweet that something was about to explode at Iowa before I saw it anywhere else. 2nd, this about sums it up.
Let's analyze this bombshell:

Note to head coaches-communication is important, being personable to your recruits makes sense- and calling up the nations #1 recruit’s mother to tell her off isn’t something you should do. How misguided can you be?

How is Tom not fired yet if that's true?

Shadow lurker here with question,

I have been banned from GIA for a least 4-5 months and I am missing this recent damage over there.
How can I get reinstated? Currently get the "page requested cannot be viewed" security error.

Thanks in advance

You should be able to view. Try logging out (maybe from the GIA home page outside the wrestling board), or try from a different device?

Or be like @johnstownsteel and create a new handle.

Ive had that error for months. I had stopped even trying, but hopped on today using the “incognito “ mode on my phone. I can’t post or like anything, but I can still read the board
